Whats the cheapest pump i could get away with with a 3x3 table?


Is there a easy way to make a over flow kit with just pvc pipe? i would have to order the kit because i have no hydro store


When cutting down plants every 2 weeks, what is a cost effective medium to use for SoG 4 plants per sq foot?

An eco water pump....396gph submersible....it's black, and 25 bucks at hydro shops everywhere. Or online for you

ya you can make one but there only a few dollars and you know they're perfect. Dont skimp now and you wont pay for it later.....wow that was deep man. I should quote myself more often....bongsmilie

Can you go out of town for about 4 days while growing hydroponically or would the nutrients and p.h go way off scale and ruin your plants? I heard you can not leave your plants at any time to go out of town while growing hydro because of the constant attention. Is this true?

Some ppl have good water/nute combos that don't fluctuate much, mine goes up .1 or so every day. Topping with water usually fixes it in my case though. And yes on the overflow with pvc. I zip tied a mesh screen to keep anything from clogging it

Awesome, thanks for the support. I just ordered a homebox s and I have a 400 wt hps. Do you think it will get too hot. The homebox is 31.5" X 31.5" X 63". Is that enough space to handle a 400 hps as long as I have an adequate intake and exhaust system? Thanks

Yo Dopeman... lava rock is like $5/ cu.ft. Rockwool will eventually have to be thrown away and perlite is an algae magnet.

Budlightman.... drain-to-waste drip systems can be left alone for as long as the resevoir is big.

I figure that from personal experience, and the fact that you're circulating water in small amounts, that will be able to evaporate much faster than a pool of water, it's simple science.

If you read that again you'll see that I said "drain-to-waste". If you didn't notice that... well then your skills of observation are suspect my fiend.
